We took the decision to play out of his hands,” said the Celtics coach.
Porzingis also spoke about his own condition and was eager to get on the court, but knows he could be stopped by the medical department. “Nothing will stop me from playing, unless they tell me I can’t play. That would be the only reason I wouldn’t be there (available).”declared the pivot to Jared Weissjournalist for ‘The Athletic’.
